Liberty Head $20 Gold 1893
Liberty Head $20 Gold 1893 is a classic U.S. circulating gold coin from the prestigious Double Eagle series, designed by James B. Longacre, the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The 1893 issue was struck during a time of significant economic change in the U.S., including the beginnings of the financial crisis known as the Panic of 1893, which adds historical depth to this coin.
